Here are the flaws in your flow chart. Who ever said it was God’s responsibility to destroy evil? It is never said, in the King James version of the bible, that God is to destroy evil. Even in the Lord’s prayer it never says get rid of evil for us but to deliver us from evil. Meaning evil will be there. Who’s to say if there is a God that it’s even the purpose of God to prevent evil?
Also, if you want to use logic as your basis of whether or not something you can’t see or quantify outside of ones own faith, logic isn’t what you should be using. However, scientifically there is the potential of a all knowing and all powerful being. As the universe is undefinable in size, we’ll say infinite, then that means there’s the potential for anything to exist or be possible. To contradict this is to say you know everything and therefore are a god and have just proven yourself wrong. The only issue is, this also means there’s the possibility of no god existing and even possible that we don’t truly exist and are the product of someone else’s mind. I’m not trying to prove there is or isn’t a God. I’m just saying that to try and determine whether or not a being that would, not just have the ability to control everything here, but in all the universe and therefore would be significantly more intelligent than someone that’s decided to take up a crusade of whether or not God exists on a platform such as this, is idiotic.
If a God existed and evil still existed, then there must be a reason for it. Like if we could predict crime would it be justifiable to arrest someone for a murder they have yet to commit? It’s like a parent that knows the stupid decision their kid is going to make, sometimes you have to let them make it. See if they sink or swim.
However, I bet if it were possible to literally see everything that exists in the universe, I’m not even talking about seeing the stars we see at night. I mean really see it, you probably would think that there was something more. But who really knows. Maybe you’d see it all and want to never have existed.

@Emosaur that is a human description. We’re not talking about humans. We’re talking about a god. How do we know that by letting evil, to an extent, into life that it isn’t good in the long run? We don’t. If we’re talking about God then inherently we have to talk about what comes after. If there is a life after death than even death is a step towards something else. Meaning that even if there’s an evil act that takes our life this could lead to something good later. Therefore, if God or even a god exists you can’t know how they think or operate because the thinking of such a being would be on a level you can’t even comprehend so to use terms like evil and good become moot because maybe on their level it’s completely different.
